Explanation / Answer

Bandura's Social Learning Theory proposes that individuals learn from others via observation, imitation, and modeling. Example: Individual learns behavioral pattern from parents or celebrities as models.

James-Lange theory developed by William James and Carl Lange proposes physiologic arousal precedes our emotions. This theory means without physiologic changes, there will be no emotions. Example: An individual may start crying after hit by motor vehicle. Here the physiologic damages are conveyed to brain through nervous system and emotional response like crying started.

Cannon-Bard Theory proposes emotional feelings are responses to stimulus from dorsal thalamus, hence arousal does not precede the emotional response.

Schachter-Singer theory of emotion also known as two-factor theory of emotion, which proposes emotion has two factors-physiologic arousal and cognitive label. According to this theory, physiologic arousal occurs when emotion is felt and the individual tries to describe the emotions with cognitions available in current environment or situation.

Let us consider the phrase 'behaving in a happy way can help us to feel happier.' This concept relates with James-Lange theory as the physiologic changes precede emotional response. Here, Behaving happy is physiologic change and feeling happier is emotion felt. Hence, answer is option (B) James-Lange theory of emotion.
